Pronounced "Umble", with a silent H, the discovery of oil here, on the heels of the famous "Spindletop" discovery in Beaumont, transformed this sleepy lumberjack community into a major player in Houston's emergent petro-chemical industry. Seemingly overnight, railroad lines were linked and the first tanker of Humble oil was steaming down the tracks.

The Humble oil fields are still active today and petroleum remains the basis of the city's economy. Loch Energy is headquartered in Humble; the city was the namesake for Humble Oil, which later merged with the Exxon Corporation. With a population of 14,579, Humble is a classic small town with the major metro benefits.

A mere 21 minutes from downtown Houston and virtually adjacent to Bush Intercontinental Airport, Humble residents enjoy convenient access to major Houston thoroughfares creating a seamless interweaving of rural and urban lifestyles. Such benefits have conspired in making Humble and the Greater Humble Area surrounding it, second only to Katy for new residential and business construction. Bush Intercontinental Airport is a large employer in the area along with other commercial areas along FM 1960 and Hwy. 59, the Atascocita Area and near West Lake Houston Parkway and Beltway 8.

A beautiful multi-million Civic Center near downtown will also increase Humble's presence as a town ready to do business. Today Humble is home to 5,460 households. Based on year 2000 data, the median income for a family was $46,399. Yet another attraction of Humble and the Humble Area is the scope and range of housing choices. Virtually all types of housing are found within the area from traditional single-family homes, town homes, condominiums and apartments. In addition a steady flow of new custom homes and new production-builder homes continue to join the Humble community daily, while rentals and resale home stock and variety is equally abundant.
